An eye for an eye

As each Friday becomes another blood bath in the Middle East, the impotent response from the International Community to the continuing homicidal brutality of the Syrian regime is a Carte Blanche for the further murder and repression of innocent civilians.
Violation of human rights have become commonplace as crimes against humanity go unpunished. Unless there is a clear message by the International Community that there is a moral will to stop the tragedy that is unfolding there.
The Good Doctor has taken to violent repression like water off a ducks back. The son of a duck is a floater, however he has squandered any legitimacy he may have had when he ordered the first protester shot.
Regime change in Syria is inevitable and will in time prove to be good for the region as it will focus Israel into making a comprehensive peace with its neighbours instead of the cold peace they have been enjoying up till now.
The longer Assad stays and the more he kills the more likely civil war could break out as unarmed protesters who are intermarried with many of the regional tribes bordering Syria  go back to the adage of an eye for an eye and " Haq Arab", in their search for revenge. Kinship is still an important part of daily life.
This repulsive regime has to be removed and fast, as any leadership that uses torture arbitrary detention and murder as tools of governance has no place in this world.
